Apr 6, 2010. Windows 7, using Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox 3.5, has
recently been certified as a browser client for PeopleTools 8.49 and
8.50. This marks the completion of the first phase of our Windows 7
certification as outlined in an earlier Tech Update, Note:1056069.1
<https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=sh ow&type=NOT&id=1056069.1> . The second phase, where we plan to certify the PeopleSoft
development client with Windows 7, is scheduled to be completed by the
end of the second calendar quarter of 2010 - provided no major issues
are encountered.

Similar to other Windows client operating systems, no server or batch
components will be certified with Windows 7. These components have been
certified with Microsoft's recent server operating system, Windows 2008,
and are also planned to be certified with Windows 2008 R2 in the second
calendar quarter of 2010.

Microsoft does not support IE 7 with Windows 7, so there are no plans to
certify this combination with PeopleSoft. Also, PeopleTools 8.48 and
prior releases are no longer being patched, so they are not eligible for
new certifications.

Tech Update - Oracle Completes Windows 7 Certification for PeopleSoft

June 18, 2010. Oracle has completed the second and final certification
phase of Windows 7 for PeopleTools 8.49 and 8.50. Windows 7 is now
certified as a PeopleSoft development client, including design tools
such as Application Designer, Data Mover, Change Assistant, Change
Impact Analyzer, Application Engine, nVision, XML Publisher, SQR, etc.
Windows 7 was previously certified as a browser client (see ID
Note:1082311.1
<https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=sh ow&type=NOT&id=1082311.1> ).

As Windows 7 is a client operating system, no server or batch components
are certified. These will be certified with Microsoft's latest server
version, Windows 2008 R2. PeopleTools 8.50 certification of Windows 2008
R2 is expected to be complete in the calendar Q2/Q3 2010 time frame,
while PeopleTools 8.49 is targeted for later 2010, pending required
third party certifications.

Please note that Crystal 9 has not been certified by the vendor with
Windows 7. As a result, those customers using PeopleTools 8.49 with
Crystal 9 must continue to use a client operating system such as Windows
Vista or XP.

PeopleTools 8.50 customers looking to use Crystal Reports 2008 on
Windows 7 must use SP2. While SP1 was originally certified by Oracle
with PeopleTools 8.50, Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 was the minimum level
certified with Windows 7 by the vendor.

Several issues were encountered during certification testing which
required patches. Some are listed below with the patch that resolves
them noted in parenthesis:
